As Rick Perry mulls his political future, Texas Republicans have a loud, clear message for the 14-year governor: Don’t run for president again.

A new Public Policy Polling survey finds that just 18 percent of Republican primary voters in the Lone Star State want Perry to run for president, something the governor has said he is mulling. The overwhelming majority — 69 percent — does not want him to run again.

How bad is it for Perry? He’s the only potential Republican candidate for president who trails Democrat Hillary Clinton in a general election match-up among likely Texas voters.

While Texas Republicans are skeptical of Perry’s potential candidacy, they are much more favorably inclined toward the state’s freshman GOP senator, Ted Cruz.

Texas Republicans are divided over whether the first-year senator should make a quick jump into the presidency — 42 percent of Republicans want him to run and 39 percent say he should wait. But if Cruz chooses to run, the 42-year-old Houston senator would be the runaway choice of Texas Republicans.
